The I2P project aims to extend users privacy by providing an anonymous communication network. It was founded in 2003 and attracted several thousand users so far. The development work is done by an international group (with both anonymous and known participants). We coordinate over IRC or discussion in a forum.[[BR]]

Multiple developers work on the I2P project, but we would like to get some extra people involved. As I2P is an anonymity and security project, it's important for us to get a lot of peer review ('many eyeballs'-principle). Extra developers would also allow an increased focus on less 'evolved' parts of the project.

[[BR]]Another important reason for us to apply is the publicity and community size. By drawing additional attention to the I2P project, we believe it's possible to increase the size of the community. This would in turn improve the anonymity of the users.
